Amazing private tour with Yasushi san - I had an amazing time walking around with Yasushi san. It was a private tour so I was able to customise it to where I wanted to go. Yasushi san's English is incredible and only rivalled by his knowledge of Kanazawa. Having both a Kanazawa local and native Japanese speaker is so beneficial as you're able to learn much more than if you were exploring as a foreigner. I highly encourage you to book a private with Yasushi san as you'll have a really enjoyable and memorable day.

Amazing half day tour!! - We had an amazing half day tour with Aiko. She was so knowledgeable and took us to the best historic area sites. We also visited the Kanazawa Castle and the Kenroku Garden. She really helped us understand and appreciate why this is on of the top three gardens in Japan. She is very nice and enthusiastic and we would tell our friends who visit Kanazawa to hire her as their guide. Highly recommend her and this guide company.

Outstanding tour by Yayoshi. - I had a good time to learn history of kanazawa and gold leaf production in the higashi district. I am indebted to Japan for saving my life in 1977. I was rescued in the ocean.
